A man has been arrested after a 74-year-old woman was held captive and repeatedly raped in the US city of San Francisco.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports the incident happened on May 10th, as the woman was walking along the street.
Investigators said she was on a morning walk when she was grabbed and dragged into the home of a man.
It is believed she was attacked by a pit bull dog and held captive for five hours, where she was repeatedly raped.
She was then discovered semi-conscious on a path.
A passerby noticed her, called the police and the woman was was taken to San Francisco General Hospital.
A 47-year-old man is being held on suspicion of kidnapping and rape.
In a petition to the court, the District Attorney has asked a judge to deny bail for the defendant - who has no criminal convictions.
